Donald Trump visited a burned-out retirement community on Saturday, which was hardest hit by the Camp Fire, the deadliest U.S. wildfire in a century that has left at least 71 people dead and over 1000 unaccounted for.

Trump, wearing a windbreaker and a black cap emblazoned with “USA,” surveyed a scene of burned out cars and the remains of houses.

At one point, the presidential motorcade pulled into an mobile home and RV park, stopping in front of an American flag hanging from what was left of a burned structure.

“Right now we want to take care of the people who have been so badly hurt,” the president said.

Trump added, “This is very sad to see. As far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet.”

Under questioning by reporters, he returned to his week-long theme that forest management was to blame for the wildfires. He earlier had threatened to withhold federal funds because of what he deemed as mismanagement by the state.

“Other countries do it differently, it’s a whole different story,” he said, citing purported comments from the president of Finland on how they deal with their forests. He said they engage in “raking and cleaning things and they don’t have any problem.”

Gesturing at the rubble and destruction, Trump, who was flanked by Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom, said state and federal partners would “get this cleaned up ” and “take care of the floors of the forest.”

“I think hopefully this will be the last of these, this was a really, really bad one,” he said.
